<p>UW GPA: 3.6 (bad sophomore year but nothing lower than B-, much better junior year)

<p>Volunteering: Environmental stuff at Olema, CA (25 hours), Computer lab monitor at InnVision (25 hours), service trip to China (75 hours)</p>

<p>Yeah I know my GPA sucks major a$$ for my intended major :P. Basically I'm trying to convey my passion for science, engineering, and writing in my essays, and I feel I'm a strong creative writer. But based on what I have so far, I would love to hear any honest chances for my schools!</p>

<p>Bumppp…</p>

<p>Any chances would be great, I’ll chance someone back too!</p>

4

<p>Your SATs are horrible then again it’s impossible to get that score</p>

5

<p>…Huh? lol</p>

6

<p>How is your PSAT 229</p>

7

<p>I’m not sure what you’re asking, but if you mean how I “got” my 229, then I have no idea myself haha :)</p>

8

<p>Sat is out of 2400</p>

9

<p>PSAT is out of 240. </p>

<p>Wow, 7 posts and no chances yet. I’ll try and help you with that. I think your ACT score will help offset your gpa (which is by no means bad). </p>

<p>Cal Poly: Match
UCD: Low Match
UCSD: Match
UCLA: High Match
UCB: High Match/Low Reach (Just because of competitive GPA)
USC: Match
UT Austin: Match</p>

<p>Other than your GPA, every other part of your stats is very competitive, and I think you have a good shot at being accepted into all of these schools actually. Good luck!</p>

<p>If you have the time, you can chance me here: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1548785-do-i-need-more-safety-schools-my-list.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1548785-do-i-need-more-safety-schools-my-list.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Your extracurriculars and ACT score make up for the sophomore part of your gpa. You have a really good chance for ucd, ucsd, and ucla! Just make sure to finish off strong your senior year and you’ll be ok!</p>

<p>Thanks so much for the feedback! As I said, I’m trying to be really passionate/personal on my essays. Keep the chances coming, and let me know if you want me to chance back!</p>

<p>You have incredibly balanced cv. and all of them are match for u .(UC- Low Match, UCB- low reach) IAMIKE is right!
If u have time enough to chance me back or suggest me something…

<p>Thanks everyone for the chances, and I hope my chance backs were useful! Is it safe to say I’m a competitive engineering candidate for at least the bottom half of my schools? </p>

<p>Anyone else (preferably people with west coast knowledge haha) have chances for me? I will continue to chance back.</p>
